    Staying Healthy When You Travel

    An authoritative tome condensing years of medical and travelling experience into a comprehensive reference. This new edition is beautifully presented with colourful infographics, innumerable tables (matching disease to country), case histories to learn from and cute line drawings so you can distinguish friend from foe among the creatures you might find crawling over you. It is a must have for the library of any tropical traveller or expat.
